Beautiful Spring Porch Decor Inspiration
Welcome spring (and guests!) to your home entryway with some beautiful spring porch decor! Guys! It's finally spring! Or I should say the weather is finally like spring! I have had major cabin fever this winter; it was usually always too cold to venture out with a newborn. But hey, at least that cabin fever afforded me a bunch of precious baby snuggles. :) One of our goals this year is to revamp our landscaping and add some color and beautiful spring porch decor to our home. It's pretty boring right now! I have found so much beautiful inspiration that I wanted to share it with you in case you're looking to spruce up your spring porch as well. I'll keep you posted on what we do, but Continue Reading
Outdoor DIY Serving Tray Makeover
My DIY Patio Serving Tray is sponsored by DecoArt. As always, the opinions and ideas are all my own. Who else is itching to spend more time outside?! Here in Ohio we've had a few glimpses of spring-like weather and it has gotten me so excited to hang out on the patio once the weather allows! We love to spend time on the patio eating, relaxing and hanging out with friends and family. We used to haul all of our food and snacks out in several trips so I picked up this big tray at a thrift store to transport our eats more efficiently. But it needed a makeover. Desperately. The finish was peeling on the edges and it needed some color. I decided to paint it in the same colors as Continue Reading

These deliciously chewy and moist Carrot Cake Cookies make the perfect Easter treat... or the perfect any day treat! Hi friends, I hope you had a great weekend! We had a little glimpse of spring and we were even able to take our little babe out for her first walk in her stroller. She wasn't overly excited about it, but she sure looked cute! I'm already looking forward to dressing her up in her Easter outfit next month which has gotten me thinking about all things Easter. Do you have any meals or treats that you eat every Easter or spring? I often think of carrot cake when spring arrives. My Nana makes THE BEST carrot cake around, she converted me from not even liking it! But since Continue Reading
Baby’s First Easter Onesie with Cricut + Martha Stewart
Make this adorable (and easy!) Baby's First Easter onesie for any "new chicks" you know in under 20 minutes! This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Cricut. The opinions and text are all mine. Hi friends! I hope you're having a great week and that you had a fun and safe St. Patrick's Day! I realized I had a total new mom fail when I saw all of the adorable little green outfits on babies in my IG feed. I totally forgot to make my little girl an outfit for St. Patrick's Day! (Insert hand covering face emoji). Oh well, at least I pulled one out for Christmas and I just made this adorable "New Chick in Town" Easter onesie for her to wear this year with my Continue Reading
How to Galvanize Metal for an Aged Look
Have you ever wondered how to create the galvanized metal look on a shiny surface? See how easy it is to transform with this 2 step tutorial. I made this Flower Market Bucket last year for the Darice blog and even though it could be considered more of a spring decoration, I didn't have the heart to pack it away because it's so cheery! One of my favorite elements of the bucket is the galvanized look of the metal. It didn't start out that way, however... it started out as a bucket with a stark metal shine which is't my style at all. Isn't it funny though how in order to get a vintage or "lived in" look on a decor piece the price doubles? Not cool. Have you ever wondered how to Continue Reading
